From Nazi to Terminator​, Europe’s Media Target Merkel, But Why Only Germany and the Netherland​s boost a 5.4% and 5.2% Unemployme​nt in Europe with a Balanced Budget

But Why Only Germany and the Netherlands boost a 5.4% and 5.2% Unemployment rate, respectively, in Europe, with a Balanced Budget???

Maybe they made sure to read again the “Cicada/Grasshopper and the Ant” from Aesop/La Fontaine Fables to make sure people understand it thoroughly, i.e., personal or state bankruptcies should be left only for “unforeseeable accidents” and not for “repetitive un-corrected chronic irresponsibility and careless waste of funds and assets”..

Keeping an Export Economy with a positive export balance of payment allowing to absorb the vagaries of their national consumption economies;

No major outsourcing/offshoring of critical economic functions and jobs, like R & D, Design, Engineering, Manufacturing/Production/Logistics, keeping the aura of “product of the Netherlands” and “Made in Germany” intact, keeping up employment in Germany and the Netherlands;

Management 3 “Cs”: Commitment, Competence, Consistency, before anybody in the world, the Netherlands and Germany workforces and their labor unions accepted and enforced collective competitive belt-tightening compensation strategies, focussing on a national long-term nationally beneficial strategy instead of “everyone for him or herself” like in the other parts of the world, particularly the multinationals (MNCs);

Finance 3″Cs”: Capacity to Repay, Collateral, Character/Credit History, if you cannot buy it outright you should NOT hope for the “providence”, “the good luck”, “the casino roulette or poker” or the “national lottery” or the “state providence” (or the World Bank, IMF, IFC, for that matter, if you are a country government which made the global help funds disappear in your leaders pockets robbing your people) to bail you out,……..repetitively! Planning instead of gambling should be the motto and hedge funds and flight to swiss bank accounts or fiscal paradises should be forbidden as they are just gambling/betting and/or stealing!……

Realistic View on the Failure of Multiculturalism as explained by Angela Merkel: “”In October 2010 Merkel told a meeting of younger members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party at Potsdam that attempts to build a multicultural society in Germany had “utterly failed”, stating: “The concept that we are now living side by side and are happy about it does not work” and that “we feel attached to the Christian concept of mankind, that is what defines us. Anyone who doesn’t accept that is in the wrong place here.”[ She continued to say that immigrants should integrate and adopt Germany’s culture and values. This has added to a growing debate within Germany on the levels of immigration, its effect on Germany and the degree to which Muslim immigrants have integrated into German society. She scored well on her handling of the recent euro crisis (69% rated her performance as good rather than poor), and her approval rating reached an all-time high of 77% in February 2012.”

Still Not Fanatical or “anti-Muslims”:

“Merkel has been criticized for being personally present and involved at the M100 Media Award handover to Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. This happened at a time of fierce emotional debate in Germany over disparaging remarks about Muslim immigrants made by the former Deutsche Bundesbank executive Thilo Sarrazin. The Zentralrat der Muslime and the left party (Die Linke) as well as the German Green Party criticized the action by the centre-right chancellor. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper wrote: “This will probably be the most explosive appointment of her chancellorship so far.” Others have praised Merkel and called it a brave and bold move for the cause of freedom of speech.

In September 2010, concerning a debate on integration, Merkel said to the Frankfurter Allgemeine that “Germans will see more mosques”. In October 2010, following a speech by the President of the Federal Republic of Germany Christian Wulff during the German reunification day, she stated that “Islam is part of Germany”.

Members of her cabinet and Merkel herself also support the idea of, and are already introducing, Islamic education and classes in schools.”

“Remember the ant and the grasshopper:

OLD VERSION . . .

The ant works hard, in the withering heat, all summer long.

He builds his house and stores supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks that the ant is a fool.

He laughs, dances and plays the summer away, preparing nothing for the coming winter.

Winter comes, the ant is safe and warm.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

The moral to the story being: BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NEW VERSION . . . (sad but true)

The ant works hard, in the withering heat, all summer long.

He builds his house and stores supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks that the ant is a fool.

He laughs, dances and plays the summer away, preparing nothing for the coming winter.

Winter comes, the ant is safe and warm.

The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and fed, while others are cold and starving!

CBS, NBC, ABC & CNN show up to provide pictures of shivering grasshoppers, next to a video of an ant

in his comfortable home, with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast! How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor

grasshopper is allowed to suffer this way?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah, with the grasshopper.

Everyone cries when they sing “It’s Not Easy Being Green”.

Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house, where the news stations film the group

singing “We Shall Overcome”.

Jesse then has the group pray for the grasshopper’s sake, and reminds the group to contribute to his group, so that he can “continue the fight” for grasshoppers, everywhere!

Ted Kennedy & John Kerry exclaim, in an interview with Tom Brokaw, that the ant has gotten rich, off

the back of the poor grasshopper!

Both call for an immediate tax hike, to make the ant pay “his fair share”!

Finally, the EEOC drafts the “Economic Equity For Grasshoppers Act”, retroactive to the beginning of the

summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire the proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to

pay his retroactive taxes, his house is confiscated by the government.

Hillary Clinton gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper, in a defamation suit against the ant.

The case is tried in federal court, with a jury comprised of unemployed welfare recipients.

Surprise! The ant loses the case!

The story ends, as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food, while the government house he lives in (which happens to be the ant’s old house) crumbles around him,

due to lack of maintenance!

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

The grasshopper is found, dead, in a drug-related incident.

The house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders, who terrorize this once-peaceful neighborhood.”……. :+)
